Adrian's 2/5 game.
I shouldn't have played this hand the way I did but it had been a very slow day and I hadn't won a pot in hours. A relatively new player raised in 2nd position to $20, a weak player called as did one of the dealers from the game on the button. I looked down at 7 7 in the small blind and elected to call. The flop came Q 3 6 with two diamonds. I checked and the original raiser led out for $15 which stunk of a flush draw bet. The weak player called and he also stunk of a flush draw (he only called on his draws and bet/raised on his pairs and made hands. The dealer who was playing was in for $800 and had about $900 in front of him. He also just called so the action was back to me. My read on the situation was this: 1) I was playing tight all day and hadn't made very many moves. 2) The first 2 players were obviously drawing to either a flush or the open ended straight draw (4-5) and dealer (ironically he was on the button) wanted to see another card before commiting his money with top pair or maybe two pair. I decided to check raise another $55 on top. Both "flush draws" thought then called and then dealer called as well and I had to put him on a hand like 2 pair because with that much money in the pot and facing that strength from me he couldn't have called with just a Q and would have re-raised with a set to get his money in good. So 4 of us went to the turn, 2 flush draws and 2 pair. The turn came a K and I'm first to act I need to win this pot or get out but by the way the day was going I needed to win it somehow...what next? I'll finish posting what I did in this hand but I want to know how you guys would play it here...I had about $230 left and I had both flush draw players covered while dealer had us all covered.

you fold the shit out of it
Ya that is the right play but is there any way to win the pot...I had 3 callers of my raise and they all didn't like having to call. I felt like I could take it...instead I created a $1500 pot
